I had wild honey bees settle into these old langstroth boxes 2 summers ago. The hive survived the winter and looks strong going into fall. I haven’t opened the boxes since the bees installed themselves. Likely the bottom box is in rough shape because the bees have chewed a new entry starting at the second box.
I’m no longer able to keep bees at my property, and need them relocated this fall. Would someone like this hive + boxes? You have to be able to move the bees and boxes yourself.
I’m located on the near west side by Camp Randall.
Please let me know if you have questions or are interested!
Thanks,
Amanda
